bsorb is a series of interactive online courses for secondary schools, covering physics, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and advanced physics. Our unique simulations, interactive animations, and videos, are linked by an involving narrative, providing the basis for an interactive learning experience.

Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation.

Each title is well-suited to self-study or review, or provides a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard.

Get a sense of what a living, moving dinosaur would look like from every angle with these 3D images. These pictures are the result of some clever detective work. Scientists examine dinosaur bones for clues about how they looked when they were alive. They can tell how dinosaurs moved, if they walked on their back legs or on all fours, and even what they ate.

Murder under the Microscope is an online environmental game for school students in years 5 to 10, typically children aged 9 to 14 years.

From 29 April 2009 the Catchment Headquarters website will be live. In the weeks that follow, clues will be uncovered.

Once the game begins, teams of students will research and analyze the evidence to solve the crime. The project culminates with the students submitting a plan to protect the environment.

Algodoo is a 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner, making use of the physics that we use to explain our real world. Algodoo is designed to encourage young people’s own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge. The synergy of science and art makes Algodoo as educational as it is entertaining. Algodoo applies a constructionistic learning paradigm - learning by designing, constructing and exploring physical systems.

Design, interact and explore - It's Physics like never before!

"My goal is to help kids get excited about science and engineering. I want to help kids understand how cool/interesting/fun science and engineering can be. I am trying to create experiments that are interesting to kids, and doable by kids, and meaningful to kids, and that don't require any "special" equipment so that kids (and their parents) can do them at home. I hope that I can: a) help kids get interested in science, b) help kids see that learning and science can be fun and interesting, and c) help kids to learn new things about the world around them. If we can accomplish that (I by shooting the videos and you by showing them to kids), then it's a good thing. "

The National Environmental Education Foundation, in partnership with The Weather Channel, has launched Classroom Earth, a program designed to enhance and strengthen environmental education in high school classrooms nationwide. By harnessing the expertise and passion of teachers and students around the country, Classroom Earth will enrich the high school curriculum by encouraging the inclusion of environmental education into all high school subjects - from biology to art - and make it easier for teachers to access best practices online. The primary goal of the program is to increase the environmental literacy of high school students and to provide models for including environmental education in high school classrooms through the Web.

It includes interactives for Math, Science, Language Arts, and the Arts (Cinema). For example, the Amusement Park Physics activity includes content on how a roller coaster works, a physics glossary, a history of roller coasters, and an interactive step-by-step decision-making simulation of designing a coaster. Once you go through the steps, you receive a safety rating and a fun rating. If you take
a look at the Safety Inspection Report, you'll find out why your design
worked or failed based on the decisions you made along the way.
